I'd gladly trade one of them to move around the memory slots a bit. For someone who subscribes to "Murphy's Laws" though, this Albatron K8-X800 probably a great feature.

A dipswitch is present to control which chip you are booting from. Albatron K8-X800 the bottom of the Albatron K8-X800 you will find one of my favorite layout features: This makes getting the board up and running easy, especially with the included documentation. Finally, under the sixth PCI slot is where you'll find the floppy connector wedged in.

It's just about the worst location for this. Fortunately, floppies are going the way of the dinosaur. It's getting to the point where I don't care that I can't install my drive Albatron K8-X800 a standard length cable, because I only use it when putting on a fresh Albatron K8-X800 of Windows and it wants my RAID drivers.

It does, however, harbor a few interesting differences. The first is seen in the screen to the above-right.

Normally, you don't see north bridge voltages, although they show up some times; nForce2 boards in particular are noted for this. The real surprising Albatron K8-X800 are the south bridge and LDT voltages.

I'm Albatron K8-X800 quite sure why you'd need south bridge voltage modulation, but it's nice to have, since it might at times help stabilize the components of the SB when the Albatron K8-X800 bus is way off in frequency. The hardware monitor shows all the necessary voltages.

Albatron K8X800 ProII - motherboard - ATX - Socket 754 - K8T800

I'm going to say that the system temp in my frigid room is at least 15 Albatron K8-X800 off. I only wish I could afford Albatron K8-X800 heating bill required to move from an outside temp of C to 34C in my room. Not too much for latency control of the ram.

Probably not a bad idea either, as I had great difficulty getting it to agree to work with timings Albatron K8-X800 in the BIOS, as opposed to letting it read from the SPD. Ah, the metallic green of the box was not an indication of the Albatron K8-X800 as the motherboard is sporting a blue hue.

MSI K8T Neo vs. Albatron K8X Pro - Motherboards

The blue does not reflect negatively on the design of the K8X Pro II and, Albatron K8-X800, the layout of the board is on the mark. Short graphics accelerators will block at least one of the DIMM slots and longer cards will likely block all three by a dramatic margin.

This design flaw has consistently remained on top of my list of peeves and should not make it past the QA departments these days. Other issues are practically non-existent except for one: The Albatron K8-X800 connector is Albatron K8-X800 the far left relative to the picture of the board by PCI slot six.

Keep in mind that Albatron K8-X800 will put this connector at the bottom of the case, well out of reach of most floppy Albatron K8-X800 in a mid-sized or larger case. This may only be a minor issue as more and more users are bypassing the use of floppy drives at all; however, Albatron K8-X800 those that still hang on to floppy technology, this will certainly be a potential problem unless you have a longer cable.

We know many do like this posistioning as it allows you to run the floppy cable under the board, out of the way.
